Chapter 118: Harboring a Ghost in My Heart
I was sweating a lot just now, and when I stood at the door of the restaurant and was blown by the cold wind, I couldn't help but feel a chill on my body. Qian Kun's fat body trembled, and after confirming that the carriage that was far away would not suddenly turn back, he calmly instructed the little guy on the side: "Prepare the carriage and go to Yetang Road." ”
"Yes." The little guy sensed that his adult was not in the right mood, so he hurriedly turned around and went down to make arrangements.
More than half an hour later, an inconspicuous carriage soon stopped at the door of an ordinary house. Qian Kun got out of the carriage and looked around cautiously, and after making sure that the pedestrians who had not passed by around him saw him, he walked quickly into the courtyard, and after he walked into the courtyard, the gate behind him was quickly closed by the little servant.
"My lord, the third prince has come to find the next official today." Qian Kun arched his hand and said to a man standing in the study with his back to him, his respectful appearance was even more respectful than when he saw Murong Jun today.
"Really?" If Lin Yingxue was here at this time, she would definitely be able to hear that the person in front of her was the man who was talking to Zhang Su at Zhang's house that day!
"What did the third prince say to you?" The man turned around and saw that he should be about the same age as Qian Kun, but whether it was from his appearance or from the momentum of his gestures, Qian Kun could not be compared with the person in front of him.
"Back to my lord, the third prince has discovered that village and asked the lower officials to bring someone to investigate." Qian Kun kept bending over when he spoke, this kind of action was actually an extremely uncomfortable action for his figure, but even though he had blushed due to physical discomfort, he still maintained a humble look on his face.
"Oh? Did the third prince say that you should check something? When the mysterious middle-aged man asked these questions, there was not much surprise in his tone, as if all this was under his control.
"I just said that there was something wrong with the village, and let the lower official take someone over to take a look, but I didn't specify what to ask the lower official to investigate......" Qian Kun paused when he said this, and then frowned again and said: "My lord, did you say that the Third Highness had discovered the secret of the village, so he deliberately used this trick to test the ...... of the lower official."
"Humph!" As soon as Qian Kun's voice fell, the middle-aged man snorted coldly: "What do you think? A few days ago, I received news that a noble prince came to the village to pick up a foreign woman, and I think that noble prince should be the third prince, and the secret of the village must have leaked out at that time! ”
"The third prince came to you after a few days, presumably he has already determined the situation and made arrangements. If you can't find anything out of the past this time, then our resourceful Third Highness may be going to shoot you. ”
Every word the middle-aged man said seemed to reveal a chill, Qian Kun's face twitched twice, he hurriedly walked to the middle-aged man's side, and knelt down with a 'plop'.
"My lord, then how should the lower officials do it now, and please show the lower officials a clear way!" The cold sweat on Qian Kun's face began to drip down like water again.
If he truthfully returned the situation in the village to Murong Jun, he would have picked it up himself, but he had destroyed the great plan of the person in front of him, and with the ability of the person in front of him, he would definitely have no good end in the future.
But if he didn't tell Murong Jun the truth, Murong Jun wouldn't let him go! It seems to be a dead end left and right, and he really doesn't know what to do!
Looking at the person in front of him who was trembling at his feet like a fat dog, a trace of disgust flashed on the middle-aged man's face - if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was easy to control, he would have solved this fool in front of him a long time ago!
"Okay, you've been an official for so many years, you haven't seen any winds and waves, why are you still so timid and afraid!" The middle-aged man flicked his sleeves, walked two steps to the side of the chair and sat down, "Don't worry, I already have an idea about this matter, you do what I say, I will keep you safe." ”
Hearing that the middle-aged man had a solution to the problem, Qian Kun seemed to be a person who was about to drown but grabbed a life-saving straw, he nodded hurriedly, and said, "Please also make it clear." ”
"It's simple." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "You will take half of the officers and soldiers of the government to the village tomorrow, and then say that you have been resisted by the villagers and will not be allowed to enter the village." The people you bring with you will confront the villagers at the entrance of the village, delay as much time as possible, and I will arrange for someone to transfer the arms. ”
"Yes."
As soon as Qian Kun responded, he listened to the middle-aged man again, "But it is impossible for all the arms to be transferred in a short period of time, if the three princes bring people to stop you together, you will ......."
This night, Qian Kun stayed in this inconspicuous mansion for several hours, and did not leave in a hurry until after the second watch.
The next afternoon, Qian Kun led a large group of officers and soldiers out of the city, and the people on the street stopped and pointed at the pair for a while, until the officers and soldiers completely left the city, and the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed.
"Is this guy really reliable?" Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun sat together on the second floor of the teahouse. This position can take in most of the Linjiang City, not to mention the pair of officers and soldiers who were walking under the building just now. Thinking of Qian Kun's fat head and big ears, and his appearance of being a hanger, Lin Yingxue felt a little bottomless in her heart.
Murong Jun listened to Lin Yingxue's words on the side, and immediately smiled, "It's okay, if it doesn't work, he will definitely come to us at night." Besides, he didn't really expect Qian Kun to get this done.
Lin Yingxue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw Murong Jun's confident appearance, she looked around, as if she hadn't seen the person specially sent by the prince since she came back yesterday, thinking that this should be Murong Jun's second-hand preparation.
Sure enough, as Murong Jun expected, Qian Kun hurriedly came after nightfall, so embarrassed that he didn't even have time to tidy up his appearance, so he said in a hurry: "Third Highness, it's not good!" There was explosives in that little village! Xia Guan was ordered by the third prince to search the village, but he didn't expect that those foolish people not only did not cooperate with Xia Guan, but instead relied on the strength of the crowd to resist with weapons! ”
"And the subordinate didn't expect that there would be such a thing as explosives in the hands of that group of Diao people, and they were defenseless for a while, and several officers and soldiers below were injured! Now our people and that group of Diao people are facing each other at the entrance of the village, and those people are unwilling to give in, and the people of our government can't force their way in...... The lower officials did not do a good job of the things assigned by the Third Highness, and I hope that the Third Highness will forgive the sins! ”
As if he was afraid that Murong Jun would not understand the seriousness of the matter, the person in front of him said a lot of words in one mouth, and he didn't care about taking a good breath, Lin Yingxue watched from the side, and only felt that she was panicking for the person in front of her.
He had already expected such an answer, so the expression on Murong Jun's face did not change too much because of Qian Kun's words.
"I told the adults a long time ago, saying that those villagers are not easy to mess with, and the adults don't have to blame themselves, I have already invited another helper." Murong Jun turned his head and glanced behind him, and the unsmiling prince's henchman standing behind Murong Jun quickly took a step forward with Murong Jun's eyes.
"Lord Qian, under the prince's close attendant, Sun Hai. Because the Third Highness sent a letter, saying that someone near Linjiang City was making arms and explosives without permission. This matter is very important, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered him to come out with the prince's waist card to help the Third Highness. Today, I have already taken the prince's token to the nearby city and dispatched a group of officers and soldiers to come over, and now I can assist the adults to arrest people together. Sun Hai said unhurriedly.
"W-What?" Qian Kun would never have thought that even the prince knew about this matter, and he moved in to rescue the soldiers so quickly!
Cold sweat trickled down from his forehead, and seeing that everyone looked at him with a little doubt, Qian Kun realized that the reaction he showed just now didn't seem to be quite right, so he hurriedly added: "Xiaguan thought that those villagers were just making some explosives, but I didn't expect this group of Diao people to dare to make arms without permission......"
Suddenly hearing such a major news, it is normal for the people in front of them to be shocked. Lin Yingxue retracted her gaze and looked at Murong Jun again.
I saw that Murong Jun stood up after calmly adjusting the folds on the hem of his clothes, "Okay, that group of villagers has a lot of explosives and weapons on their bodies, and if they delay any longer, there may be some accidents, so let's catch them all at night today." ”
Hearing that Murong Jun was going to rush to the village overnight, Qian Kun's heart was shocked again-the adults had already explained before, there were many arms, and they would definitely not be able to transfer for a while, so let him delay for a while. He originally thought that in such a situation, the person in front of him would have to wait until at least tomorrow to go, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him had already been arranged.
"Third, Third Highness, the hour is not too early at this time. Now the lights are blind, the village is close to the mountains and forests, it is not easy for us to attack it, the lower officials have already sent people to guard the exits, it is better for us to go over tomorrow to arrest those criminals, anyway, in one night, those villagers will definitely not be able to escape......" Qiankun stared at Murong Jun nervously, even though he was so anxious that he was already burning in his heart, but he still had to endure it without revealing a flaw on his face.
It's a really uncomfortable feeling.
After Murong Jun listened to Qian Kun's words, he couldn't help but stop his movements and glanced at Qian Kun seriously, but just when Qian Kun thought that there was a door for this matter, Murong Jun suddenly moved again, "It's okay, the people I brought are all good hands, and I am sure." ”
After saying that, Murong Jun no longer paid attention to Qian Kun, who wanted to stop talking, and walked towards the door with Zhao Hai by himself.
Although Murong Jun's glance just now was extremely bland, Qian Kun always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if what he tried so hard to hide was seen through by others......
It seems that the only way to do this is to use the back hand that the adults have explained in advance. Qian Kun gritted his teeth, and when he was about to go out, he quietly turned his head to look at Lin Yingxue, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but Lin Yingxue, who was watching Murong Jun leave, just didn't notice this look.
